Physical vs Virtual Processors Optimization

I have a 6 core AMD processor  (AMD FX-6100).  I want to create a Windows Server 2012 VM uisng WS 9 (OP not supported I guess but Window 8 is so I'll try it).  Will it help (or harm) the VM performance if I defined the virutal processor  as one processor with 6 cores (vs 1 or 2 coress).  Same  for other guest VM's.  Host is Windows 8 Pro.
